Huan Xuan originally planned to go to Si Xun Hall to rest, but he hadn't been here for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, he thought about his love for the Liu family, and always felt that he was a little too low-voiced, and he shouldn't be too accommodating to her, lest he get used to it and make her more and more arrogant.

However, the people came to report that someone in Jingzhou came to the house to ask for a meeting, and when they came to the door in the dead of night, they must have something important to return.

Huan Xuan only felt very tired, and he was too lazy to change his clothes and go to the front yard to meet the guests, so he instructed the house slaves to bring the future people to the courtyard where he usually rested.

However, to his surprise, the person who came turned out to be Yu Kai, the younger brother of the Yu brothers, who was quite noble, and presented himself with the jade seal of the ancient Chu State, which was really a caring person.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get up and straighten his clothes a little, and smiled kindly: "Why did Yu Neishi ask to see him overnight, but is there anything urgent?" As he spoke, he casually patted the collapse table next to him and motioned for him to sit down and talk.

Since Yu Kai and his brother joined Huan Xuan, he has also been quite reused, under the instruction of Huan Xuan, Yin Zhong has given him a position in the history of Nanping County, which is not big or small, but it can be regarded as a powerful official.

Yu Kai nodded, sat upright, and said solemnly: "Duke Huan, Xia Guan heard a strange rumor in Jingzhou, so he hurried to tell you. ”

Huan Xuan disdained in his heart, these ancients just liked the chatter of gods and gods, and believed in some inexplicable rumors.

However, he still pretended to be very interested, and said politely: "I don't know what makes you so disturbed?" ”

Yingchuan Yu and Huan Guo Huan were both powerful and valuable families back then, just like Huan Xuan to Xie Yan, they should also use honorifics, now that the Yu family has declined, and has served Huan Xuan, naturally he can no longer be on an equal footing with Huan Xuan, so Yu Kai called Huan Xuan "you", but Huan Xuan only needs to call him "you" or "Qing".

Noticing Huan Xuan's careless tone, Yu Kai's eyes showed a hint of disgust, but he turned his face slightly, not letting Huan Xuan discover the dissatisfaction in his heart.

At this time, a cute white kitten jumped in outside the door, seemingly chased by a group of women, and fled to Huan Xuan's inner room regardless of it. The panicked maids outside the door talked a lot, and the sound of running around could be heard vividly, but they did not dare to enter the house to look for it.

Huan Xuan was about to reprimand the girls, but a brightly dressed woman walked in and said to Huan Xuan: "Husband, the concubine's cat has run into your inner room, have you ever seen it?" ”

Huan Xuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was his new concubine Zheng, she was reclining with her temples, her makeup was exquisite, and her face was delicately floating, as if she was extremely worried about being scolded by herself, and her eyes glanced at herself uneasily.

The most difficult thing to accept the grace of the beauty, he knew what was going on in her mind when he saw Zheng's dress, and he thought that he had accepted her for many days, but he had never spoiled her, so he was anxious.

Huan Xuan couldn't scold her because Yu Kai was here, so he could only say gently: "There was a cat that ran in just now, but I still have a guest, it's too rude for you to trespass in like this, why don't you quickly make amends to Yu Langjun?" ”

Zheng Yan didn't expect Huan Xuan to have a guest, she just spent a lot of money to find out that Huan Xuan didn't go to the housemother tonight, so she came to try her luck, but she didn't know that she bumped into an outsider, she immediately covered her face with long sleeves, turned sideways slightly, and politely blessed Yu Kai's direction, and said shyly: "The concubine doesn't know that Yu Langjun is here, there is a lot of trouble, please forgive me." ”

Yu Kai came in to speak, and looked at her intently, seeing her warbler and swallow language, he couldn't help but go to the seven spirits, and hurriedly grabbed the white cat on the ground, handed it to her, and said to Huan Xuan: "You are too polite, it stands to reason that I didn't avoid it in time, and I saw your inner family, and I should make amends to you." ”

Zheng Yan hurriedly took the cat, but felt that Yu Kai's fingers gently brushed the back of her hand, as if there was a hint of teasing, she immediately restrained her smile and glared at him angrily, but saw that the other party looked calm, as if she didn't look at herself at all.

She was a little uneasy in her heart, not knowing if this person was bold enough to dare to tease herself in front of Huan Xuan, or if it was really an unintentional mistake.

The kitten chirped impatiently in her hand, struggling to jump off, Zheng Yan hurriedly hugged it tightly, and said to Huan Xuan: "Since you have a guest, the concubine will retire first." ”

Huan Xuan chuckled and nodded to her, and said gently: "I'll come to your courtyard in a while to see if the little white cat you raised is obedient." ”

Zheng Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted him to leave, the unpleasant episode just now had long been left behind.

Yu Kai watched her back, and only reluctantly withdrew his gaze until he disappeared outside the curtain.

Huan Xuan coughed lightly when he saw this.

Yu Kai came back to his senses and said apologetically: "It's too rude to be distracted at the next moment." ”

Huan Xuan said with a smile: "Yu Lang is serious, it's rare that my new concubine can get into your eyes, and it is okay to give it to you, but she has a lot of connections with my beloved, and she really can't give it away easily, I'm really sorry." ”

At that time, the status of women was very low, and it was common for nobles to give each other courtesans and concubines, especially in the family of jealous women, and it was common for the concubines to give their close friends to take care of them after they were pregnant.

However, Yu Kai didn't dare to take Huan Xuan's words seriously, and said busily: "How dare I covet your inner family in the future, it's really my distraction for a while, and I don't have this intention." ”

Huan Xuan didn't care what he actually thought, just nodded casually, motioning for him to continue talking about the previous topic.

Yu Kai hurriedly said seriously: "Recently, there is a ballad circulating in Jingzhou, which seems to be aimed at you, and the content is very ...... If you don't mind, I'm willing to read it to you, and I've only heard what others say, but it seems that there are quite a few children reading this ballad on the streets. ”

Huan Xuan thought about it, since ancient times, people in all dynasties have fabricated all kinds of proverbs and ballads in order to build momentum, the purpose is nothing more than to discredit, or praise, or to claim who is the true son of heaven. If it is really someone who deliberately spreads rumors unfavorable to him in Jingzhou, he really has to find a way to calm down the matter and find out this person.

He said to Yu Kai with great interest: "What the ballad says, you might as well tell me." ”

Yu Kai cleared his throat and recited seriously: "The father is a plan, and the son is a dragon." The dragon wants to go to the sky, and the five snakes are supplemented. The dragon returns to its homeland and gets its place. The four snakes got their rain and dew from it. A snake was ashamed, and he died in Nakano. ”

Huan Xuan is a modern person after all, and after listening to it once, he didn't understand what it meant at all, and asked suspiciously: "Why does this have anything to do with me?" ”
